A smooth operator who was usually content to watch his sister get in trouble, and whose perfect evening was watching Dancing With The Stars (no, really) with the whole family. We will miss him terribly.25 Aug 2025 14:17 +0000at://did:plc:35hbaoui3bf2bbx4ojzelwmm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lxa6w2zg322jhttps://bsky.app/profile/pfcbobinmd.bsky.social/post/3ltpu5hohb22oBuddy Guy at the Freeman in Selbyville last night.

It’s also the 164th birthday of my great grandmother Marion, seen here in an Edinburgh studio with one of her grandchildren.
